Album Review

Reviewed 2005-09-23
Solo violin, uses loops & electronics, classical to folk to ambient soundscapes Nice sound.
*1: 6:53 classical/ambient/atmosphere, kind of upbeat
*2: 5:14 somber, cool sounds, neat underlying rhythm
3: 5:22 soaring fiddle + plucked strings tango feel to it.
4: 5: 23 old/good time rag + bass + plucked strings.
5: 4:42 mellow soaring fiddle, + plucked strings
6: 2: 59 mellow soaring fiddle + pounding beat (annoying to me)
**7: 3: mini drone intro. repetitive bowing, beat builds up , soundscapes
8: 2:59 world music sound, footstomp beat.
9: 3: 53 gospel sound
10: 4:27 a waltz
11: 3:09 meditative
12: 4:13 meditative D Farrell 08/2005
